We have an opportunity for a qualified practitioner and pre school room leader to join our team.

What is your favourite book to read with your family?📚

The Northcote House team on Saturday enjoyed their belated Christmas party and team building activity, at All-Star Lanes bowling.
There was fierce competition with Dean, Poppy and Jeannie winning on each team.

On the 28th of January, we had our environmental health food inspection.

I am pleased to say we have retained our 5-star food hygiene rating.

A big shout out to Dean for all of the fabulous food he cooks, but also for maintaining high standards and practices.

We would love to know who your vote goes to for employee of the month for February.

Please email me or message me on the Famly app, with your name and why you have chosen that person.

Thank you for your support.

The Room of the Month has been awarded to the Toddler Room!

The range of activities they provide is exemplary with a range of stories and home learning.
A highlight was how they incorporated the 7 areas of learning from the books they use for the book of the week.
Well done team.

Love is in the air, the practitioners have been writing down why they love working at Northcote House. The staff have also been treated to a Chocolate Rose by Kelly to thank them for being so fabulous.

We have been talking to the children about Valentine's Day, there have been lots of different discussions and activities. From the children’s voices, they have been asked who they love and have decorated a heart for them that has been put on the tree.

Attention Toddlers parents.

The story of the week for next week is going to be The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. You can give your child a head start over the weekend by reading the story to them. This will enable your child to be familiar with the story and help them with their language and communication development. Learn the repeated phrases from the story. Then your child can help retell the story during circle time with their key person next week.

The toddler room children have been talking about pets and are very excited as they will be getting a pet fish for their room soon.
Following on from this the practitioners and some of the children went to the pet shop to look at the fish, there were lots of discussions around colours and size of fish.

Fresh air cleans children's lungs.
For young children, physical activity means the opportunity to move around and play with other children. Children tend to be more active when they are outdoors rather than when they are indoors.
The toddler room children went to the park, they enjoyed going down the slide and swinging on the swings.
